Reactivity
TRIFLURALIN is a trifluoromethyl dinitroaniline derivative. Dinitroaniline has a record of industrial explosions. Nothing has been reported implicating trifluralin in any such accidents. This may be because of the trifluoromethyl substitution may mitigate the instability of the molecule. However, care should be taken in the extremes of heat, shock, and friction sources that may trigger an explosive release of energy.

Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Trifluralin (ISO)…
A Safety Data Sheet is written for a product, not for a substance: the supplier of the grade you actually buy issues it, so two suppliers of Trifluralin (ISO)… issue two different sheets. That is why there is no single authoritative SDS for a substance to download — what there is, is the job of collecting the sheets for the products you hold and keeping them current as suppliers revise them.
